Electric Energy Storage Systems

Abstract

The modeling of an energy storage system (ESS), as already mentioned in Chap. 2, consists mainly of determining two parameters: the storage power and the storage capacity. After having determined these two parameters, which are based generally on the analysis of specific load curves and a general storage model, an optimal storage technology, considering the economic, technical and ecological criteria (also see the example in Sect. 2.4) can be chosen depending on the application (e.g. power quality and/or energy management) that they need to cover.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Compare also with the investigation of optimal storage size in a medium-voltage power network described in Sect. 2.2.2, e.g., see Fig. 2.9.
